Exactness and base change of the sheaf associated with a module #

The functor M ↦ M~ from R-modules to 𝒪_{Spec R}-modules is exact. It preserves finite colimits as a left adjoint of the global-section functor, and it preserves monomorphisms because a section of M~ over an open subset U is a family of elements of the localizations M_p, p ∈ U, that is locally a fraction, and localization preserves injectivity.

For a ring map φ : R ⟶ S and an R-module M, the pullback of the quasi-coherent sheaf M~ along Spec φ : Spec S ⟶ Spec R is the sheaf associated with the base change S ⊗_R M: (Spec φ)^* M~ ≅ (S ⊗_R M)~, naturally in M.

Both functors M ↦ (Spec φ)^* M~ and M ↦ (S ⊗_R M)~ are left adjoint to taking global sections followed by restriction of scalars along φ, so the isomorphism is the uniqueness of left adjoints. On global sections it sends the pullback of the section m of M~ to the section 1 ⊗ m.

As an application, the sheaf associated with a finitely generated projective R-module is finite locally free. Every prime p of R has a basic open neighbourhood D(r) on which M_r is a finite free R_r-module. Since D(r) ≅ Spec R_r, the restriction of M~ to D(r) is the pullback of M~ to Spec R_r, which is the sheaf associated with R_r ⊗_R M ≅ M_r, hence free of finite rank.

Since M~ is left adjoint to taking global sections, with unit the map M → Γ(M~), a morphism out of M~ is determined by where it sends the global sections coming from M.

The map M~(U) ⟶ N~(U) on sections induced by an injective linear map f : M ⟶ N is injective.

The functor M ↦ M~ sends monomorphisms of R-modules to monomorphisms of 𝒪_{Spec R}-modules.

The functor M ↦ M~ is left exact. Being a left adjoint, it is also right exact, so it sends short exact sequences of R-modules to short exact sequences of 𝒪_{Spec R}-modules.

The kernel of a morphism of quasicoherent sheaves on a spectrum is the sheaf associated with the kernel of its map on global sections. The comparison uses the counit of tilde.adjunction and the canonical kernel comparison of the exact tilde functor.
